A recent backlash against businesses using AI-generated images and polished writing is examined in an article by Kiandre O’Neaque Clark, published as Part 2 of a series. The piece argues that people interpret their own choices through circumstances while judging others' choices as reflections of character. The author states, "I use AI because I am busy, learning, experimenting, operating a business, or working with the resources available to me. You use AI because you are lazy, dishonest, greedy, or uncreative." The article attributes this reaction to thinking patterns including confirmation bias, in-group bias, self-serving bias, and cognitive dissonance. It notes that once an opinion is attached to identity and community, changing one's mind can feel like betraying the group. The author, a Black woman, cautions against treating snap judgments as harmless, referencing generations of Black people being judged based on assumptions treated as objective truth. The piece also mentions that the author experienced this reaction to her business flyer, and that several of her commentaries have received attention on social media.
